Disclose Notes: Credit info per Donnie Pitchford. Story is in three-tier format, while future Western issues with new material are in Western’s standard four-tier format, indicating that this story might have been leftover inventory from Charlton, which routinely employed a three-tier format. Artist George Wildman was carried-over from Charlton to Western for this series.
